    Continuum is well suited for an MSP who has several clients running backups. Everyone knows how important backups are. Having Continuum Recover helps eliminate the need for a full-time employee to check backups. Backups can take a long time to check daily manually, but Continuum Recover helps eliminate that need.

    Tivoli Storage Manager

    Tivoli does well running file-level backups, but Exchange is clunky and restores are really hard. With no SharePoint agent, if you use SharePoint you will need another product like AvePoint DocAve. The web-based GUI console is MUCH improved over earlier versions, but you will still need to be a command-line guru to make Tivoli do everything, and local (node) config files still rule. This product was originally ported from Unix and retains may of its 'nix roots.

    Pros

    ConnectWise Recover (formerly Continuum)

    • The platform offers a powerful feature set that includes block-level backup, granular file recovery, and more.
    • Not only we are able to recover data from our customers, but we're also able to backup and continue business operations whether a single or an entire server goes down.
    • All our server and desktop patching is properly managed and tested.

    Tivoli Storage Manager

    • The concept of "forever incremental" is very appealing to my understanding of how backups should happen.
    • The backups are tuned for fast restores and they sure are fast.
    • The media management is very good.

    Tivoli Storage Manager

    • I do not see anything at the moment that requires change or adjusting. TSM works great for what we need it to do.
    • Note worth mentioning: We never had the opportunity to explore the VM backup functionality, as we are currently using VMware snapshots. This data protection solution came highly recommended to any business environment running VWware / virtualization.

    Support is pretty good. The issue is that they don't have any SLA so they get to you whenever. Though, if you hound them, they usually bump you up in the chain and get back to you. Their techs are fairly knowledgeable. Occasionally the first level support isn't the best, but once it bumps up to the next level, they are good.

    The few times we've called for support we eventually got an answer, but it's IBM and a very big company and getting to a support agent is hard.

    Alternatives Considered

    ConnectWise Recover (formerly Continuum)

    We evaluated Infrascale, and that was a really bad product. When it worked, it was fine. But when it didn't, nobody knew what was going on. Seeing green checkmarks usually means good, but not with Infrascale. You really had to dig into each job to see if they were successful. There was way too much time consumption. That issue is eliminated with Continuum Recover

    Tivoli no longer has a SharePoint agent, others do. We are looking at a product that is agentless (runs in VMWare) to relieve our staff from installing and maintaining agents on 300 servers.
